mort The Electi0n---Cause OF the
Troubie--AIrs Well That Ends
Well.
The ARGUS of last night mentioned the
factional fight raging among the menu
bers of the academy of science at Daven>
port, which includes many from this
side of the river. The history OF the
difficulty is quite interesting. Nearly a
year ago, shortly after the annual eiec-
zion of officers, which resulted in the
choice of C. E. Putnam for president.
Two of the Davenport members OF the
academy, 10 whom the result OF the
election was not altogether satisfactory,
made themselves so conspicuous in de-
uouncing the new officers that they were
expelled from membership. During the
past wear the academy has experienced a
wonderful growth in membership; hardly
a meeting has been held that applications
were not made for initiation. and the
society rather rejoieed than otherwise
over its apparent prosperity
Suddenly, however, a bombShell was ex-
ploded, it revealed the reason of this un-
explained growth, Tor back, of ii
was seen the hands of the expelled
members. They had adopted this under
hand method of gaining the ascendancy
by the votes of the new members, whose
friends they were, and thus intrudlng
themselves upon the society from which
they had been expelled. and sounding TIT
first notes of discor6. which had not eX'
listed in the academy before.
The discovery was made only few
weeks ago-but short time before
election. The members of the academ!
saw and realized the impending DANCE
aud saw too that in bringing out full
attendance on election night, the expeil
| ed members might be voted down. Al
the loyal members were notified and las
night carriages were flying around as oil

The result OF the annual election Wa:
the triumph of the academy, two to one

Nebraska--TheG aiiOWs Sheateu.
Nearly everybody in Rock Island will
recall the thrilling murder at Edgington
two years ago next month OF Daniel
Dougherty by his brother-in- law, Pat Nc
Dermott. The murder, it will be remember
ed, was committed in McDermott's house.
The two had been drinking and got into
a quarrel, and were separated by Nc
Dermott's wife, Doughertys sister, after
threatening language had passed between
them. McDermott, however, left the
room and returned with his revolver,
with which he took deliberate aim at
Dougherty, who said, what you would
not hurt me, Pst:" Pats reply was, yes,
YOU s-b, l would" and fired, the ball
passing through the breast of the victim
and causing death in two hours. The
murderer mounted horse and fed to
Reynolds where he sold the animal, and
then started west lie camped on an isl
and in the Mississippi for few weeks
and afterwarl went across the country.
Sheriff RelickeS made hot pursuit. and
traced the murderer to Ne ntana, where
he lost track of him This was the last
heard of him until now, when the Ne

The Rapidly of Progress Toward Health,

Even when a good remedy for disease
is selected, it depends in some measure up
on the manner in which it is taken. II
regular, interrupted doses can afford no
fair test of the efficacy of any medicine.
however salutary. Taken IN proper
doses at prescribed intervals, a reliable
curative will effect the object of lis use.
Among remedies which, Systematically
and persistently used, accomplish thor
ough and lasting cures, and prevents the
recurrence of periodic disease. Hostetter's
stomach bitters ranks specially high. In
cases of dyspepsia. debility. rheumatism,
fever and ague, liver complaint, inactiv-
ity of the kidneys and bladder, constipa,
ton. and other organic maladies, it is a
tried remedy. to which the medical
brotherhood have lent their professional
sanction, and which, as a tonic, altera>

of the stomach, liver and bowels, has an
unbounded popularity.
